• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume
playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side
as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also
memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the intterupted
point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function,
the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or
later than the point where playback was interrupted.

Operations
The unit can play back MP3 files on a home recorded CD-R/RW
disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that
contains MP3 files as an “MP3 disc” in this manual.
About MP3 discs
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are
sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
• Each file is regarded as a track.
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also
count in the 150-file total.

Additional information
Aspect ratio
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.
It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional
TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
Chapter/title
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on
DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track
for Video CD or Audio CD.
Component video
Video signals with three channels of separate information that
makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,
such as R/G/B and Y/C
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization
information.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital
domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of
information.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in
two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the
original four channels for playback. Because the audio is
recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a
two-channel stereo system.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side
processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering
the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and
adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is
enhanced channel separation.
B(PB)/CR(PR).
MPEG Multichannel
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on
the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1
channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie
theater experience in your own home.
NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format used in the
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

PBC
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling
disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the
disc through menus.
S-video
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV
monitors, etc.
Track
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from analog AUDIO OUT
connectors.
DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for
Digital Theater Systems.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
Linear PCM audio
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual
method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is
used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
MP3
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts
